Preparation

We're not up to much today and there are perhaps only 3 things I can recall that are of any importance and worthy enough to report:-

First off, I've been peeing like a horse because I've started drinking 2 litres of water every day. As a consequence of this my body is now getting rid of all the skanky fluids it's been holding onto tighter than a yorkshireman and a pound coin as it's realised that fluid isn't in such short demand. It's not a terrible inconvenience though since I get more exercise running up and down the stairs to the bog, and my face no longer represents that of a snake shedding its skin (dry and a bit shrivelled). Good to say then that I won't be scaring the neighbourhood brats any time soon.

Secondly Phil has written me a database so that I can input the hundreds of healthy recipes that I have spread amongst 3 books and search through them easily based on main food ingredient, or category of food, such as a snack or light lunch or main meal. We spend a good part of the day doing that with me playing the typical client role (ie, has a vague idea but no real comprehension as to what is needed) and Phil doing his technical bit. He does a fine job too considering PHP and MySQL are not his daily programming languages.

Finally we nip off to the cinema to watch Just Like Heaven which despite being 100% a chick flick is actually quite good fun, and even raises a few smiles from Phil.
